Player to WatchIqraam Rayners, Mamelodi Sundowns: The South African striker has been in sensational form, scoring in both of Sundowns’ Club World Cup matches so far, including against Borussia Dortmund. With 24 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions this season, Rayners is arguably Sundowns’ biggest goal threat, and his ability to find the net will be crucial if the “Brazilians” are to pull off an upset. Fluminense’s attack will likely feature the experienced Germán Cano and creative players like Jhon Arias. Fluminense will be without Yeferson Soteldo and Otavio due to injury.
Storyline to WatchAfrican Champions’ Audacious Bid: Mamelodi Sundowns captured global attention with their thrilling 4-3 loss to Borussia Dortmund, demonstrating their attacking capabilities. Now, against another top-tier opponent in Fluminense, they face a direct shootout for a knockout spot. This match represents a massive opportunity for the South African club to prove their pedigree on the world stage and continue the strong showing by African representatives in the tournament. Fluminense, as 2023 Copa Libertadores runners-up (and 2024 champions), are a seasoned side in this competition and will be determined to top their group.
Prediction Fluminense, with their blend of technical skill and tactical discipline, are slight favorites, needing only a draw to progress. However, Mamelodi Sundowns’ high-energy attack and desperate need for a win will make them dangerous. This match is likely to be an exciting, end-to-end affair with goals from both sides. Fluminense’s experience might give them the edge in the decisive moments.Pick: Mamelodi Sundowns 2, Fluminense 3
